Hundred Palms EC: A Rare Gem at YCK/ near Hougang

The forthcoming Hundred Palms Residences will offer investors and residential buyers a rare opportunity in the town of Hougang: an executive condominium development. It has been some time since Hougang has seen the development of an executive condo, and the prospect already has generated some media attention and investor intereost. The Hundred Palms Residences address will be on Yio Chu Kang Road on the parcel of land between Houang Avenue 9 and Lorong Napiri. To get early deals before prices start climbing or before units are snatched up for resale, interested parties should stay current and check back often with us for information about Hundred Palms Residences balance units and prices.

Executive condominiums are public-private housing developments that offer the same luxury amenities as private condos, but they have the distinct advantage of being more affordable and a smart choice for investors with a lower buy-in and higher long-term returns. An executive condo (EC) provides the same luxury amenities and facilities as a private one, including a swimming pool, clubhouse, gym, tennis court, security guard, etc.

According to the developer, the Hundred Palms Residences EC will consist of nine blocks that are 15 storeys and that house approximately 560 units. Of those units, some 70% will be three-bedroom units, then 15% will be four-bedroom units, and the rest will likely split up as two- and five-bedroom units.

Plans are in the works for a basement carpark, a landscape pool, club house, gym, function room, lounge, and BBQ alfresco dining.

Considering past projects by the Hundred Palms Residences developer, there is also the possibility that green spaces, such as a meditation garden or nature walks, will also be integrated throughout the condo grounds.

Executive Condos as a Smart Investment

For both future landlords and residents, executive condos are very smart investments. Executive condos have a lower buy-in that is typically 15-30% cheaper than private condos and 12.6% cheaper in price per square foot (psf) compared to mass market houses. The long-term returns with high profit margins also makes executive condos a smart investment, and the demand for ECs is especially strong in the resale market. While non-landed private properties yield an average of 15% capital gain, investors of ECs can expect to see capital gains of 56%.

The Hundred Palms EC is estimated to have selling prices between $750-$800 psf, which is only slightly above the average for ECs of $745 psf. Ultimately, the final psf will depend on the market.

ECs are also an excellent option for first-time buyers, who are eligible for up to $30,000 of the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Housing Grant.

The price list for Hundred Palms has not released yet and it is expected to announce n June 2017.

Hundred Palms Residences EC will be estimated to be priced averagely around $750 to $800 PSF.

To enjoy early bird balloting price privileges, it is recommended to start register your interest.

Nearby Similar Developments To Hundred Palms Executive Condo

Compared to similar developments, the Hundred Palms Executive Condo is just as affordable and, considering the nearby amenities and expected onsite luxuries, the Hundred Palms EC is expected to attract many investors.

Although the nearby EC site at Anchorvale Crescent closed in January 2015 for $280 psf, since then their selling prices have risen to $750 psf, according to data from the Property Guru.

The Florida, another EC in Hougang that was completed in 2000, had a selling price of $351-$521 psf at launch, and current selling prices are at $705 psf. With an estimated selling price of $750-$800 psf, the Hundred Palms Residences EC warrant the expectation of a slightly higher price, especially because of the proximity of several excellent schools, in addition to many more retail and transportation amenities.

Investors and residential buyers should register early before the selling price starts climbing as was the case with the Anchorvale Crescent.
